(a)   Basic income per share based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding 1,978,176 and 1,972,796 for the quarter; and
1,978,176 and 1,968,451 for the six months ended May 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
(b)   Diluted income per share based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding 1,983,182 and 1,979,570 for the quarter; and
1,982,614 and 1,977,619 for the six months ended May 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

Our consolidated net sales for the six months ended were $10,974,000,
representing a 30% increase compared to the same period one year ago. A
majority of this increase was due to the inclusion of Art's-Way
Scientific, Inc., net sales of $2,346,000, for the six months just
ended. Art's-Way Scientific, Inc. was acquired in August of 2006 and
therefore was not included in last year's six months results. Art's-Way
Manufacturing had revenues totaling $6,374,000 for the six months,
compared to $6,929,000 for the same period in 2006. This decrease was
due primarily to a reduction in sales of blowers to our OEM dealers.
Art's-Way Vessels had revenues totaling $2,254,000 for the six months
ended, compared to $1,485,000 for the same period in 2006. Art's-Way
Vessels has succeeded in increasing sales since our acquisition by
improving on time delivery of our quality product to new and existing
customers.

Consolidated gross profit increased during the quarter to 30%
compared to 28% in the first quarter. Year to date gross profit is 29%
compared to 32% in 2006. When we purchased Art's-Way Scientific we also
purchased their backlog and had to honor pricing from the prior owners.
Art's-Way Scientific's gross profit was 20% for the first quarter of
2007. Year to date, their gross profit has now increased to 28%.
Art's-Way Manufacturing's gross profit was 28% while Art's-Way Vessel's
was 34% year to date.

Operating expenses for the quarter decreased $32,000 compared to 2006.
As a percent of sales, operating expenses decreased by seven percentage
points 17% in 2007 compared to 24% in 2006. Year to date operating
expenses are 18% compared to 22% in 2006. Art's-Way Manufacturing's year
to date operating expense as a percentage of sales was 22%, Art's-Way
Vessel 11% and Art's-Way Scientific was 14%.

Interest expense year to date remains consistent. Other income increased
by $312,000 in 2007 compared to 2006 as a result of our accounting for
the fire and insurance recoveries in Monona, Iowa.

As previously disclosed on January 16th, 2007, one of our buildings in
Monona, Iowa, was completely destroyed by fire. The building housed the
production and offices for Art's-Way Scientific. The 36,000 square foot
building was a stick built structure with steel siding. We were insured
for the loss of the building, its contents as well as the disruption in
business. We are currently working with our insurance company to settle
the claim. At this time we have received $500,000 towards the claim and
we have booked a receivable for the estimated loss of the building of
$983,000. We have incurred costs in excess of $900,000 related to the
fire, including $334,000 in losses of fixed assets. We are currently
working from one of our other buildings in Monona, Iowa. We have started
construction on our replacement building. The new building will be
located in Monona on the same site as the building that was destroyed.
It is our intent to be in a new building by September 2007. We continue
to manufacture buildings and have not lost any orders to date.

The order backlog as of May 31, 2007 is $12,105,000 compared to
$5,790,000 one year ago. Art's-Way Manufacturing's order backlog as of
May is $4,325,000 compared to $3,099,000 in 2006, Art's-Way Vessels
backlog is $1,682,000 compared to $2,691,000 in 2006, and Art's-Way
Scientific's backlog is $6,097,000.

Art's-Way manufactures and distributes farm machinery niche products
including animal feed processing equipment, sugar beet, land maintenance
equipment, finished mowing, crop shredding equipment, plows and seed
planting equipment. Art's-Way also produces haylage machinery for
original equipment manufacturers (OEM's). After market service parts are
also an important part of the Company's business. We have two wholly
owned subsidiaries, Art's-Way Vessels Inc. manufactures pressurized
tanks and vessels and Art's-Way Scientific Inc. manufactures modular
animal confinement buildings and modular laboratories.
